Scott Allie is more focused on earliest movies, says even all the movies don't really fit in a single neat line.

No disputing that. Absolutely no disputing that.

That's what made it extra hilarious to me when people would complain about "strict continuity" and how the EU "violated" it.As if the movies were much better. Hence why I'm a fan of "fuzzy continuity" (and I assume why others like a "multiverse" idea).

I'm very confident it was a personal choice. FOX has been quite supportive of the AvP films in other media very recently.

Explain "recently".

And how do you know Fox is still supportive of the AvP films in other media? The last ones were AvP2010 and Evolution but Evolution only had the temples, not so much Karl Bishop Weyland or any mention of Charles.

Some of us would like a clear and strict continuity like Star Wars. But obviously we are never, ever so much as going to get that. I was surprised that Scott Allie had outright stated that the films didn't even match up very cleanly. Or to some, not very neatly. As for the multiverse idea... well... I like the idea of it but so far... that idea seemed to be shot down when they decided to shoe-horn this into the overall EU, which is something that I don't agree with.

I wish they had revealed a bit more, but I'm not surprised that they didn't. I think they're being so secretive not just to avoid spoiling things , but also because they fear that Fox will force further changes, and DH doesn't want to be in the position of promising things that don't pan out.

I am glad that they are now accepting fan questions over at AliensvsPredator.net. Cause I asked maybe a couple and I hope that they answer them. Their answers will decide if I will buy the comics or just jump ship.

We're still getting prop replicas and other merchandise from the AvP movies to this day (S.H. Monsterarts just did the 'AvP' Alien and 'AvPR' Wolf, Sideshow recently did a mask from 'AvP', the 'AvP' Alien designs are showing up in the AvP miniatures game, and NECA has the 'AvP' figures in the pipeline). If they're intending to ignore the AvP films wholesale, they're doing a pretty garbage job of it.

Well LeonardoDaTurtle over at AliensvsPredator.net's Fan Q&A asked Dark Horse on what Fox's stance is on AvP and their canonicity. So hopefully, we might get an answer on that. But I think we'll get something along the lines: "We're not an authority on what's canon or isn't" in regards to that question. Long shot to get an answer but hopefully we'll get an answer regarding that.

I don't see how merchandise has any bearing on the canon or storyline of the franchise. Merchandise is something which fans buy to add to their collection.. I'm sure there are many non-canonical characters in various franchises who have gotten toys and figures. But again, I don't see toys as having any real bearing whatsoever.
